Thank you so much Brentus, that means a lot to me. And you’re really doing wonderful with sharing more here and I hope you will be able to share more with your therapist when you feel ready

Yes, I am just mostly curious about what my doctor thinks, rather than labeling myself as a disorder and letting it define me. I just am trying to make some sort of sense of my experiences, try to get the best treatment I can and work on my issues head on. Because I have done well getting more stable over the years but I still have a lot of unresolved issues. I’m terrified of conflict and avoid it at any cost, which is not a great way to live being afraid of everything and everyone. The dissociation, anxiety, moods, paranoia, afraid of being assertive, withdrawing into myself, isolating. All that internal stuff needs to be worked on finally

My therapist kind of does a mix of DBT and CBT, she’s not a specific trained DBT therapist , but I have been doing some stuff on my own with DBT workbooks and talking with her about it , mindfulness, emotional regulation stuff like that
